Hannah More: the first Victorian by Anne StottISBN: 9780199274888
Publication Date: 2004-11-18
This book is the first full-length biography of More for fifty years and the first to make extensive use of her unpublished correspondence. The new material shows her to have been a more lively and attractive character than previous stereotypes have suggested. It also reinforces the growing perception that she was a complex and contradictory figure: a conservative who was accused of political and religious subversion, an ostensible anti-feminist who opened up new opportunities for female activism.
Fierce Convictions: the extraordinary life of Hannah More: poet, reformer, abolitionistPublication Date: 2014-11-04
The biography of the woman writer who helped end the slave trade, changed Britain's upper classes, and taught a nation how to read. Fierce Convictions weaves together world and personal history into a stirring story of life that intersected with Wesley and Whitefield's Great Awakening, the rise and influence of Evangelicalism, and convulsive effects of the French Revolution. A woman of exceptional intellectual gifts and literary talent, Hannah More was above all a person whose faith compelled her both to engage her culture and to transform it.

The World of Hannah More by Patricia DemersPublication Date: 2015-01-13
This book depicts the author as a forceful voice in her own day and deserves a more nuanced treatment. Without denying the problems More presents for modern readers, =Demers has made a revisionist study of a woman enormously influential in late eighteenth and early nineteenth century England. By examining her career, contextualizing her work, and addressing her personal life, Demers anchors The World of Hannah More in the work itself.
Their Fathers' Daughters: Hannah More, Maria Edgeworth, and patriarchal complicity by Elizabeth Kowaleski-WallacePublication Date: 1991-01-01
Current feminist theory has developed explanations for against patriarchy. But other women writers did not rebel; rather, they supported and celebrated patriarchy. Examining the lives and selected works of two late eighteenth-century writers, Hannah More and Maria Edgeworth, this book explores what it means for a woman writer to identify with her father and the patriarchal tradition he represents. Kowaleski-Wallace exposes the psychological, social, and historical factors that motivated such an identification.
In Praise of Poverty: Hannah More counters Thomas Paine and the radical threat by Mona ScheuermannPublication Date: 2015-01-13
This book shows that Hannah More's writing to the poor is intended to counter the perceived rabble rousing of Thomas Paine and other radicals in the 1790s. Village Politics was written by request of the Bishop of London as a response to Paine's Rights of Man. The larger project of the Cheap Repository Tracts followed, and More was still writing on this two decades later. Scheuermann effectively, and perhaps controversially, places More in the context of her period's debate about the poor, proving More to be not a defender of the poor but of the conservative upper-class values.
